Hi everyone! This is my first pedal and I've hit a noisey problem. Describing my issue is probably best left to listening to this video

I've really enjoyed the journey thus far and plan to keep doing this; I just trying to figure out where I went wrong.

Thanking you in advanced!

Hi. Since it oscillates, i’d check the wiring of the input/output jacks. Its hard to see from the pictures but since the yellow wires seems to be used for the sleeve lug (ground), they should not be soldered to the input/output lugs of the switch (middle row). Black wires from the jacks (tip lugs) should go there. Interchange your black and yellow wires soldered on the switch and on the board (wires that come from the input/output jacks)

Thanks for the reply. I see that I got the wiring backwards on the jacks. I’ll swap them when I get home from work and report back.

That did the trick! So glad it was an easy rookie mistake. I appreciate your time, you earned some good karma points today!
